I’m a Vinted whizz who’s made £5k in less than a year – the top 5 items currently selling & how to boost low views
THERE’S nothing more disheartening than uploading a tonne of bits to Vinted, only to get absolutely no views or purchases.
But one woman – who is a pro on the site after selling over £5,000 on there in just 10 months – has revealed there’s a specific reason you might not be seeing much activity on there.
And it’s all down to WHEN you’re posting items on there.
“I’ve been having a little play around with things recently to see what does work and what doesn’t work,” Liv said in a video on her TikTok page.
“And something I’ve definitely noticed is that spreading your listings throughout the day makes a big difference.”
Liv said that while she used to post around five to eight items in the evening, she now starts in the morning, and spreads it throughout the day, finishing off in the evening.
“I’ve definitely noticed that I get more views and more likes doing it this way,” she added.
And she wasn’t the only one to have found such a change beneficial.
“I do this too! my sales have gone through the roof,” one person wrote in the comments section on Liv’s video.
“I find it is just easier spreading things out – for the motivation,” another added.
“I was doing that and then stopped and have just done it in the evening as that’s what everyone was saying, as more people are on in the evening,” a third wrote, adding that after doing so their “views and likes have plummeted”.
“Definitely go back to spreading them out!” Liv replied.
“Oh I will have to try this because I’ve always just bulk listed,” someone else said.
“Will definitely try spreading it out. Thanks for the useful tip!“
“I do this – few in morning, few in evening,” another said.
“Sold 3 out of the 4 things I put on!”
Liv also shared another video in which she detailed the top five items she’s found to be brilliant sellers on Vinted in recent months.
First up, any “big, graphic T-shirts”.
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted...
- The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
- Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

While she’d found that tees from The Mountain have done well for her, she also said that “Harley Davidson tees, cartoon T-shirts, band tees” would sell well.
Next, men’s long-sleeved shirts, “specifically pinstriped and checked”.
Jeans are still doing well for Liv, which she called “surprising”, as well as “any kind of women’s long skirts”, which are “selling really well at the minute”.
The last item Liv suggested looking out for is “any golf related items – quarter zips, golf polos”.
